Yetta,

I may be wrong but track#4 sounds to me like the instrumental version of Doctor's Cat - Feel the drive.
Don't know if this Italo track from '83 was released or imported in the US.

DJ-Pir,
Thanks, I just downloaded the vocal version and you are right.

#1 is "Dance, It's My Life" by Midnight Powers

#3 is "Disco Circus" by Martin Circus

#2 sounds like a Boris Midney production that I'm forgetting, like maybe a Masquerade cut. I have to check.

Number 2 sounds a little bit like something Herb Albert could have done in his "Rise" period. There's even a bit of trumpet in there.

#2 - Boris Midney, yes. Maquerade, no. It's "Living Up to Love" by Double Discovery. Wally's using the last 4 and a half minutes or so of the song which is why the title isn't in your sample. But they do repeat 'I feel your love' in this section.

Oh, yeah, that guy talking about 'the monster' or something, that's also Wally. It's not in the song.

#2 is "Living Up To Love" by Companion (Boris Midney) in some bootleg mix thing, I think. So Nicky, you were right!!!

Interesting. I've heard that #4 cut and never knew what it was. "Feel The Drive" by Doctor's Cat!!!! You learn things here everyday!!!

Baby Bro,

I know that man's 4/4 sound anywhere. I almost said 'no' because of those cowbells but that bassdrum creeping into the midrange is a Midney trademark.

**markydefad** · February 2nd, 2003, 03:54 PM

Oh, one more point. I think "Living Up To Love" was by Companion...the Double Discovery tune was "Can He Find Another One"...I think. Both are really Boris Midney, though. Just his little trick of using fake group names. What, "Boris Midney" doesn't sound like a hitmaker???? :roll:

Anything to keep us on our toes, right? Now which fake-group was this? USA/European Connection? Caress? Beautiful Bend? Festival? Double Discovery? Masquerade? Companion? Festival? Duh :P

Thanks to all:

That completes two more play lists. Nick Nack that monster thing in the song was an overlay by Wally. It's the beginning of "One Step Beyond by Madness". You guys are truly amazing

You're correct on all counts. I just looked at my Companion lp and sure enough, "Living Up to Love" is there. On the Midney "Anthology" CD they credit the song to Double Discovery. Think they got their studio projects turned around. :roll:
